color (2/20/20)

fluffy flakes flutter and weave a blanket of white

as the butterflies in my stomach

flap their technicolor wings.

but the only color i feel

is a deep, melancholy blue

that seems to creep into my heart

when i'm missing you.

all i want is to lock eyes with you again

so i can remember what it feels like

when our bodies radiate

a vivid, passionate red.
